Masterclasses

A lecture theatre full of people sitting, looking towards a person at the front who is presenting.

Our much-anticipated Masterclass season is back! Designed to spark inspiration, cultivate entrepreneurial thinking and bring real-world stories to our doorstep, these free sessions are open to everyone - students, staff and the wider community alike.

Each masterclass features a successful entrepreneur or business leader who shares the story behind their journey - covering the challenges, the pivots, the wins - and distils their experience into actionable takeaways.
